This can't have been written by a native English speaker. Landlord, for instance, is self-explanatory. "Jim is my landlord." "Jim is my owner." -What? "Jim is the owner of my house." -What? "Jim is the owner of the house in which I live." -Oh, he's your landlord!

"That's Mary, my partner." -Oh, this is great! Your business is growing! "No, I mean, she's my *partner*." - Oh, my, sorry, very surprised to see you've moved in with someone, being an old-fashioned man and all. "No, I mean, we've been dating." -Oh, she's your GIRLFRIEND!

Did you not actually read the whole thing or are you being purposefully obtuse? It says if you're unsure. If you know your girlfriend or landlord personally you're not unsure

Pretty sure all of them have female equivalents, the point isn’t that it’s offensive against women, it’s more the thing that it’s considered offensive to call someone a gender they don’t identify with
